I have a MLIS (a Masters in Library & Information Science, specializing in children's lit and services), or in other words, I like children's books a whole lot. <br /><br />Your list is a good one. I adore Silly Sally and have shared it enough in 101 early toddler story times to have it memorized. Puppets accompanying the story are even better. Yet the Sheep books by Shaw...can't stand 'em. They make me hurl. But that's just me. ;)<br /><br />Mo Willems redefined the picture book for a whole new generation...and their parents. Glad to see him on your list.<br /><br />Can't wait to read future posts on this topic!
